Error In Line II
Invite intro for ST/STe
Released on November 9, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------
# Minimum requirements to run this intro
--------------------------------------------------------
- Atari ST
- 1-megabyte ram
- Colour monitor or TV
- 8 MHz
--------------------------------------------------------
# Compatibility
--------------------------------------------------------
- Tested with STe, 16 MHz Falcon and 50 MHz CT2. But
should most probably work on Atari TT with normal
TT-video (colour) as well.
- If Fast-Ram is present, it is automaticly used and
the framerate will be enhanced.
- Tested with TOS and MiNT, no disasters noticed with
these two OS'es.
- If the computer is accelerated, the extra speed is
automaticly used and the framerate will be enhanced.
- On plain ST with 512 colour palette, there will be
interlaced colours here and there.
--------------------------------------------------------
# Credits
--------------------------------------------------------
- Code by Evil and Gizmo.
- SSD-Player by Slippy/AM and Defjam/Checkpoint.

# About
--------------------------------------------------------
- Not much to say about it, it's a quick hack (like
all recent DHS things..).
After the Falcon version of this intro was made, I
thought that hey why not try make an ST-version of
the intro. Started with the last part, used the
normal c2p routines etc. But memory exploded, and
the intro quickly didn't fit in 1 megabyte. So the
c2p routines had to be remade to use alot less
memory. Now the 4 plane c2p (intro) uses less than
1k lookups and the 2 plane about the same. Although
the penalty was speed, some 25% slower c2p routines.
The most work with the conversion was without doubt
to do the small c2p routs, the bleeding conversion
of the 256-colour to 16-colour picture (in the first
words scrolling by) and the 4-colour EIL logotype
conversion. It was hand-dithered of course. Long
live crackart. The photos were machine dithered
though.
